Episode 2771: Ken Under Fire, NFL’s Growlin’ Bear, Grunge-ocracy

Having only just returned home (victorious?) from “The Battle Of Roy Curtis”, Ken had to get the fatigues back on straight away as shots came in from a familiar foe.

Eoin wrestles with indigestion, baby back ribs and a weak knowledge of old NFL stars.

Brian Murphy tells us about the sports and movie career of hard-as-nails growlin’ scowlin’ Chicago Bears linebacker Dick Butkus.

Plus there’s cassette tape Grunge-ocracy, Murph dives into the NFL Films archives and delivers a mixed Frances’ TV Guide.
